Help for parents

Parenting issues encompass discipline, balancing work-life demands, navigating technology, fostering independence, managing sibling dynamics, promoting emotional well-being, addressing educational concerns, and nurturing healthy parent-child relationships through effective communication and support.

They encompass trying to set limits on your teen while at the same time trying to give him/her some independence. Are you unsure what kind of responsibility to give to your eight-year-old? Not certain what to do when your three-year-old tantrums in the middle of the grocery store? In today’s digital age, parents also face challenges with children who spend time gaming, on their smartphones and social media, or in front of the television.

At A Peaceful Balance, our counselors are trained in providing education and training to parents on a variety of parenting issues including;

    • Why children misbehave
    • The ages and stages of development
    • Techniques for avoiding “paying off” misbehavior
    • Developing natural and logical consequences for misbehavior
    • Effective communication skills
    • Avoiding communication blocks
    • Building the bond between your child and you
    • Helping to develop responsibility in your teen
    • The power of encouragement

We also know that often the way we were raised has an impact on how we raise our own children. Sometimes, parents are not even aware of this impact. At A Peaceful Balance, we can help you to discover this link and, if desired, help you to become a different type of parent to your children. If you are experiencing parenting issues and have decided that it’s time for a change, please visit our About page for more information on our therapists. Call A Peaceful Balance Clinical Consultation and Consulting Services at (603) 577-5551, or email info@apeacefulbalance.com to learn more about how we can help.
